Working with any woods over the years, I have found some work and other will never.

Works:

Sycamore:

My Personal Favourite, due to how easy to prep and due to its light colour the burn is brought out more.

Split Birch:

Due to the split (Mould in the wood grain) create an amazing background naturally.

Struggle To Work:

Pine:

The grain is very coarse and makes burning and filing hard. Due to creating indents and dips.

Cedar:

Not bad for burning, but due to my work being finer details. It's hard to get smooth filing lines and building finer detail.

All sourced within a 30 mile radius of the Studio. In order to and keep my carbon foot print as low as I can.

Developing and adding to the collection of equipment over the years.

But at present, I use:

Razortip SL1: For the Primary Burning

Fine Wood Files: To etch the finer details out

Dremel Blowtorch: To create a smooth effect or add extra depth of tone

Sports Mask: For Respiratory Protection

Basic Hand Saw: To cut the wood

Random Orbit Sander: Using 60 Git to remove any paint, dirt or pencil/Pen lines.

Sandpaper: Ranging from 40 to 3,000 Grit, to get the best texture to burn on and to get a better depth of the wood I use.

Ye, always looking to make unique and personal works.
